Albany, NY (WBNG Binghamton) New York State increases highway funding for the first time since 2009. More than $438 million will go to local road and bridge repair project throughout the state under the Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement program or CHIPS.

"During these difficult fiscal times, this $75 million increase in CHIPS funding is a big victory for our state's localities that will be able to use these much-needed funds to make repairs to local highways, bridges, and roads, and at the same time support job growth and economic development in their communities.
